King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and four local companies in the telecom and autonomous vehicle sectors initiated the development of the country's first unmanned electric bus to cash in on the trend.
The pilot project aims to run a trial of an unmanned electric bus in Ayutthaya Historical Park by year-end.
According to KMUTT president Suvit Saetia, the project is in preparation for commercial unmanned electric vehicle (EV) service by the private sector, while also complementing the EV value chain.
